I used to chomp at the truckers that take miles to overtake but after changing jobs to one that sees me doing 40k a year in the car it no longer bothers me.
I have done the maths, and so I lose 30 mins on a long journey. So what. I leave in plenty of time to get where I want to go, and I get there when I get there. I enjoy driving, and the journey, and the radio, and my own company. But more importantly to me I enjoy the peace. How often in the rat race do we get a couple of hours peace? Live, and let live. As for the idiots, let them get ahead out in front where you can see them better and avoid them easier.

I have also gone between 56mph trucks once or twice in my riding career, but yes, it is a bit suicidal TBH! Has to be a bit of a stupid thrill moment! Do it so quick there isn't time for anything to change before you get through (or before the driver sees you in the mirror and gets any funny ideas) ![]() Last edited by -Ralph-; 30-05-10 at 11:11 AM. |
